Exactly, they can't just take over the workplace and establish a cooperative because the factory/business owners would get the police to enforce their property rights.

And what is in the way for they to create their own workplace and establish their cooperative? Because if cooperation is such a great tool, they together putting their money and starting their company should work right???? Or it can only work by taking by force what others made before?

What money? The reason they have to sell their labour in the first place is because they don't have the capital to provide for themselves.
